Iraq corporations still perform below expectation and are yet to fully comply with the requirement of International Accounting Standards (IAS). Past research on corporate social responsibility (CSR) practices had shown positive effects on financial performance. Thus, this research aims to examine the relationship between the CSR dimensions disclosure and financial performance in Iraq corporations and the effect of firm size on CSR and financial performance. This study further analyses the moderating effect of firm size on the relationship between CSR dimensions and financial performance. CSR in this study refers to reporting in the environment, employee, community, product and governance dimensions. Financial performance is represented by Return on Assets (ROA), Net Profit Margin (NPM) and Earning per share (EPS). Stakeholder‘s theory, legitimacy theory and agency theory are used to support the linkage among CSR disclosures, firm size and financial performance in Iraq cor.....

Kajian ini bertujuan mengenal pasti implikasi buli siber dan hubungannya terhadap tahap kemurungan, kebimbangan, tekanan dan pengaruhnya ke atas pencapaian akademik murid. Metadologi kajian ini melibatkan reka bentuk kombinasi dua fasa. Dalam fasa 1, kaedah tinjaun digunakan untuk mengenal pasti gejala buli siber, tahap kemurungan, kebimbangan dan tekanan melalui soal selidik Gejala Buli Siber (GBS) dan soal selidik Depression, Anxiety and Stress (DASS-42) melibatkan 322 orang murid tingkatan empat semua sekolah menengah di bawah pentadbiran Pejabat Pendidikan Daerah Samarahan, Sarawak. Dalam fasa ke 2, kaedah kajian kes melibatkan 5 orang murid yang mempunyai tahap kemurungan, kebimbangan dan tekanan sangat tinggi di temu bual. Dapatan yang diperolehi menunjukkan situasi gejala buli siber berada pada tahap rendah iaitu 2.02. Ujian korelasi Pearson menunjukkan wujud hubungan yang signifikan dan positif namun berada paras aras yang rendah antara gejala buli siber ke atas kem.....

The purpose of this study is to explore the social interactions among International and Malaysian students at Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI) Tanjung Malim, Perak. The study's goal was i) to understand the challenges faced by international and Malaysian students during their social interactions. ii) to describe how international and Malaysian students cope with the challenges during social interaction, iii) to explore international and Malaysian students’ expectations of UPSI programs in promoting social interaction between them. This study uses a qualitative method with a case study approach and the data were obtained through the interview (11 participants), observation, and document analysis. The data were subsequently analyzed using manual methods. To ensure validity and reliability, data triangulation was used. The findings revealed (objective-1) that the language barrier, lack of social skills, personality traits, lack of confidence, and accents are the most.....

This research aimed to optically trap and manipulate a single calix[4]arene microcluster in water. The optically trapped microclusters were evaluated in terms of their optical stiffness and rotatability with respect to the variation of microclusters' effective radius and laser power density. The calixarene microclusters contained solution was prepared by sonicating a vial containing a mixture of 1.7 mg of calix[4]arene powder in 1 ml of deionised water for three minutes. Calix[4]arene microclusters in the effective radius range between 0.5 and 3.5 μm were optically trapped using a 976 nm laser at laser power densities between 0.67 and 2.30 MW/cm2 with laser sport size 1.1 μm. A quadrant photodiode (QPD) collected the scattered light from a single trapped microcluster. The QPD signal was analysed using a custom-made program named OSCal to determine the corner frequency of the optical trap. A quarter waveplate was introduced to the laser path to change the laser polarisatio.....

This study explored on process drama and its potential as a constructivist, experiential, cooperative, and problem-based strategy for second language teaching to match with 21st Century Learning and the competencies of the K-12 curriculum. Conducted using a descriptive-developmental design, the study aimed to develop lesson exemplars using process drama in enhancing listening and speaking skills. Needs assessment was done to 288 students and 12 teachers to collect data on competencies deemed to be difficult. The top 15 most difficult listening and speaking competencies were then utilized for the development of four lesson exemplars which were validated by three drama and language experts prior to a trial demonstration. Results indicated that the developed lesson exemplars gathered validation ratings of 3.51- 4.00, interpreted as “Acceptable Without Any Revision”. After the trial demo, a thematic analysis of the 34 demo participants’ reflections was used to determine whe.....

Water is one of our most precious resources and as much as wanted it to be, it is not an infinite resource. Water not only supports human life and activities but also helps to maintain the ecological structure. Water was used for everyday household purposes, such as bathing, dishes, flushing toilets, and washing machine. These activities are producing greywater. This project aims to develop the prototype of greywater treatment to conserve water and convert contaminated water from the washing machine (greywater) into clean water that can be used for watering the plants. Arduino Uno, pH sensor, ultrasonic sensor, solenoid valve, servo motor, and potassium alum are components and materials used in this project. This project was achieved by chemical filtration of the greywater using Arduino Uno. The greywater will be collected and identify the pH level by using a pH sensor. The quantity of potassium alum inserted in greywater was based on the accumulated pH value. The potassium alum was in.....
